In this insightful episode of "Journeys of Not So Ordinary People," hosts Dr. Dave Peltz and Dr. Joe Hamlett are joined by guest Bridgett McGowan, a professional speaker and publisher, to delve into the crucial topic of "Breaking The Pattern." Bridget defines this as boldly rejecting the status quo and the self-imposed limitations—be it mindset, habits, or fear—that hold individuals back. It's about consciously deciding "enough is enough," stopping the rehearsal of limitations, and starting to live out one's possibilities by rewriting personal scripts and raising one's own standards. Bridget emphasizes that breaking patterns isn't accidental but requires a combination of awareness, courage, and action. She outlines a process: recognizing the unhelpful loop, being brutally honest that it's not working, making a firm decision to change now, taking action (even small steps), and then consistently repeating the new, desired pattern. Key themes include the power of tiny, consistent steps over grand gestures (referencing "Atomic Habits"), understanding that confidence is a consequence of action rather than a prerequisite, and the importance of showing up authentically, with purpose, even when scared. Overcoming "analysis paralysis" (which Bridget calls "fear wearing a lab coat") by setting deadlines and taking immediate, small actions is also highlighted as crucial for moving forward. The episode powerfully encourages listeners to stop waiting, take control of their narrative, and actively build the future they desire.JONSOP https://jonsop.comjonsopdr2@gmail.com Bridgett McGowenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bmcgowen/https://www.connectwithb.comDr. Joe Hamlett ⁠dr.joehamlett@gmail.com⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/⁠ http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/ Dr. Dave Peltz ⁠PeltzCS@outlook.com⁠ ⁠https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services⁠ ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/⁠ https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltz Music intro & Outro provided by David T.
